But, while a human baby’s brown fat disappears in the first year of life, beige fat persists. Humans can naturally turn white fat cells into beige ones in response to diet or a cold environment.

While less than half the population has the previously known type of classical beige fat cells, almost all humans have the new futile-cycle type, albeit in differing amounts. As the researchers ...
